About the book: 2023 / “The author could be counted among the ironists of the “eighties” version, if not for one significant circumstance: his irony is addressed in the first place on oneself, and postmodern allusions are directed not against the criticized discourse, but rather against the method used. Kryzhanovsky's lyrical subject is busy reflecting on his own place in the universe and how this universe should be viewed, and irony in relation to ready-made cultural recipes serves at the same time. a sign of distrust of one’s own position.” Lev Oborin "The book by Vyacheslav Kryzhanovsky consists of texts written between 1999 and 2014. The main line of Kryzhanovsky’s writing is an ironic observation: the irony extends here to the very manner of writing - almost all the texts in the book are constructed in a playful, but at the same time obviously understandable to the reader the principle of association."
